According to the independent Newsday newspaper, mixed opinions were expressed in a heated meeting of the National Council at the weekend, where it was resolved that the party would boycott taking part in any form of government.
But after another meeting Thursday Tsvangirai made a u-turn in order to “guard the party’s zones of autonomy”. Newsday said Tsvangirai, who is also the outgoing Prime Minister, told the winning candidates to “protect” their victory in parliamentary and council elections.
The paper, quoting “impeccable sources”, said Tsvangirai had met with the Harare Provincial Council of the MDC-T, to whom he “emphasised the need for peace” while his party pursued legal channels to nullify the “stolen election”.
Tsvangirai’s spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka, is reported to have confirmed Thursday’s meeting but would not be drawn to reveal details of what they discussed. But an un-named source told the paper: “There is a huge difference between levels of government and levels of State. Parliament and council are levels of State. The Prime Minister wants us to guard our zones of autonomy in Parliament and councils. We will not be part of Cabinet and parastatals, among other government institutions.”
It was not possible to get through to anyone in the MDC-T to comment, but many Zimbabweans on social media sites have reacted to this alleged change of tactic. There appears to be a consensus on Facebook that joining the next government in any way legitimizes the same election results that the MDC-T is challenging.
Political commentator Lameck Mahachi agreed. He told SW Radio Africa on Thursday that the MDC-T would be “mixing oil and water” by participating in any form of government while challenging its legitimacy.
“It would be pointless because they would have no power anyway in parliament given ZANU PF’s two-thirds majority. They had no power even when they were part of the GNU so how could they have any now when ZANU PF can just use their numbers to change the constitution,” Mahachi explained.
Meanwhile the MDC-T will continue to prepare court papers challenging the credibility of the landslide victory claimed by Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF. – SW Radio Africa News

MDC t National Council resolved that the party will boycott taking part in any form of government.The winning candidates are now told to protect their VICTORY IN PARLIAMENTARY AND COUNCIL ELECTIONS in order to guard the parties zones of autonomy.Is it the same election that the MDC T wants to challenge? This sort of confusion should stop coz no one will really take you seriously. Policy inconsistency and this FLIP FLOP makes you a laughing stock hence the electorate voted against you.
Of course you must keep your jobs you cowards!!!
Get rid of Tsvangirai, he is absolutely useless as an opposition leader. Like a pig at the trough he is filling his belly, together with Mugabe, and the ordinary people of Zimbabwe must bear the brunt of this unholy alliance.
As much as MDC and every reasonable organisations are disputing the election results, that does not make MDCT to put a blanket stop to its members who won. It is up to those individuals to make their own decisions. By allowing its members to participate in the Mugabe government MDCT does not want those constituency to think that they wasted their time by voting for the party.
WastedPaper YES! this is often how people get pregnant “on the IUD:” there’s been an expulsion, the person doesn’t notice because expulsion can often be “silent,” and there you go. hence the string checks.
